20 Best Dutch Oven For Glass Top Stove (2022 Updated)

I recently bought a small one quart stainless steel sauce pan by Ecolution. I was impressed with the heat conduction and the overall construction. I’m now in the process of replacing all my cookware with Ecolutions Stainless Steel line.

It does require a little extra work when cleaning if you want it to remain shiny and beautiful. I use Barkeepers Friend on all my stainless steel pots and they all look like new. If the pot has a lot of food stuck on the bottom then I let them soak for a couple of hours or overnight and it cleans easily.

However, if you don’t want the white hard water stains then I suggest the Barkeepers Friend to restore the shine. I’m also impressed that this cookware is completely recyclable. although I hope I never have to kick it to the curb.

I have been using the Ecolution 5 Qt stainless steel round Dutch oven regularly for a few weeks and I love it. It’s a good quality pot and cooks evenly. The stainless steel is very easy to clean. I would like to buy additional products from this brand.

The Ecolution 5 Qt Stainless Steel Round Dutch Oven is a really nice pan. I just love the size. It can hold alot of food and it works well. It is well made and has a nice appearance. It cleans well and I just love using it.

I have two of the dutch ovens, a pan and one of the small bowl sets by Golden Rabbit. I loved the enamel finish and the sea glass color. I also love that they are light weight and most of the pieces all fit inside each other so they don’t take up too much room.

Unfortunately they have not heated consistently, and one of the larger ones I have is permanently burnt/damaged. Everything cooked in them has been well under the max temperatures stated on the packaging.

All of them have also rusted along the metal edges after the first or second uses. I do not leave these in sitting water/moisture, so that was also very disappointing.

I wish I had this Golden Rabbit Red Swirl Dutch Oven w/Lid many years ago! It is the perfect size for stews, homemade soups, boiled dinners, etc. , I love it!!! it can be used on a electric ceramic cook top, the oven and it is dishwasher safe!.

Absolutely LOVE this Dutch oven!! Wish it were a 6.5 quart but it’s actually a good size for a single person. Love the color & inside lining. Stove top to oven! Pretty & perfect!! Great value, too!!

I know she doesn’t really “go” with my kitchen, but she’s darn pretty. I’ve used once and it was a dream to cook in and easy to clean up. I got the 7. 5, but truthfully should have gone with the smaller 6 size, even for my family of 5.

This sucker is big!!!! I’ll be able to cook a full roast or full rotisserie chicken in this. It’s heavy but it’s cast iron, so that’s to be expected. Looking forward to cooking many, many dinners in this, without costing hundreds of dollars for the other 2 brands.

I have this cast iron enamelware and have been using it almost daily for over a year. It still looks brand new and care is easy! If any staining, let,it soak with about half a container of false teeth cleaning powder.

I set the pan in sink and place the powder in the pan and then fill with hot water. I let it set overnight and then I am able to easily hand wash the stains out, I only do this when the pan is stained which is not that often but it does happen.

A little elbow grease after use will keep the pan from staining. This pan is fantastic for on the stove use and also 8n the oven. I usually wipe with my fingers bacon grease or vegetable oil on the inside of the pan when using it.

I do highly recommend all of the Lodge cookware and know that mine will be passed down to my son when I go to Heaven. Worth every penny and an investment that can be passed down from generation to generation!!!.

I cannot stand this pot. And don’t get my wrong. I wanted it for a long long time. I’ve done research to see what and how to cook in it. I’m also a relatively good cook as it stands. But for some reason, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to use this pot.

If it’s anything like a soup or full of water, it never seems to cook all the way through, chicken n dumplings take about 3x as long as they do any other time. But on the other hand, if I try to use it for something that it not liquid, like to brown chicken, it sticks and I burn it every single time.

Idk what I am doing wrong. All of my other lodge cookware is amazing. I’m sure it’s user error. But this one is not for me.

I am glad I finally bought it. I wasn’t sure if I really need it and if it will be a pain to clean and take care of it. It appears it is very good for me when it comes to cooking in the oven and is not hard to maintain (read the manual that comes with the pot).

I specifically mentioned “cooking in the oven” before because when it comes to cooking on the stove I don’t really see the difference (in my case sometimes it is even worse) then in a regular pan/pot, so except the fact it takes longer and consumes more power, I do not see the benefit in this case.

We also bake bread in it, I didn’t even realize how nice it is not to bother with a water pan anymore – you just put bread in it, close/open the lid as needed and that’s it. Also, what is very important to me, the food doesn’t stick that much as I expected.

I thought it will require much more oil, but actually it doesn’t, maybe just a little bit more than usual works ok for me (and I don’t eat oily food). I took the red one, 6 quarts. It is big enough (I bake a whole chicken in it without problem) and it looks nice (gives me a cosy feeling).

Delivered as scheduled, very good packed, no chips (thanks Wayfair!).

At present my favorite part was unboxing the bakeware to find the storage for them included. They were also boxed with incredible care. I have used the square bakeware pan already love it. I am looking forward to receiving the storage for the cookware now that it is available because I ordered the cookware before you had storage for it and it only came in bags which are wonderful, but not convenient when it comes to using the cookware.

I look forward to receiving your storage containers which will protect these products the way they should be protected. I am in awe of the innovation of this storage and how it makes the products safe and easy to access.

I can recommend your company and products to everyone I see and all the people I have over to eat what I cook in them. They are beautiful and can remain so when I receive your innovative storage.

We have used it just once but we made classic New Orleans File Gumbo, which means one must slowly cook a 1/4 cup each of olive oil and flour for 30 minutes, stirring it frequently to make a very dark brown roux.

Many pots cannot accomplish the making of a roux but rather wind up burning it. Le Creuset is fantastic for this purpose; however, we needed to replace our beloved French pot because a visiting “Philistine” trashed it by overheating the enamel.

Caraway offered a far less expensive replacement so I decided to experiment with new technology. This pot is beautiful and on this first test scored an A+. It has great lines and looks great on our new black cook top.

The interior did not stain and was quite easy to wash. We are very happy with our purchase – bought the blue-green color.

I usually read reviews on products, but I’m hesitant to give one. I have no hesitation to give a review on this Dutch oven! I used it last night to make potato, leek and cauliflower soup. I put an immersion blender into it to make the soup smooth, and I could feel it just grinding on the bottom of the oven.

I was so afraid that I destroyed it! When I emptied the soup, the pot looked pristine! I thought, wow, this is good quality! It also fits in my toaster oven, as my oven is not working right now. I waited to replace my cast iron Dutch oven which has rusted a bit, searching and searching.

I do a ton of research and then pull the trigger with my eyes closed, lol. The quality is just awesome. I got it in gray because it was available, and I’m not fancy, but the color selection was great too, as well as how it shipped; no damage, as the packaging was pretty solid.

This 4 qt. cocotte is great for any recipe asking for a Dutch oven. Because it is smaller than your average Dutch oven, it is great for recipes for 2 people with leftovers or 4-5 for dinner. (As a gauge, I made a half recipe of Ina Garten’s Coq au Vin from Back to Basics, and it was a perfect size pot.

) I have also made rice in it (great) and the typical No-Knead Bread recipe (think Jim Lahey) and it is terrific. (I have preheated it empty for bread or put the bread in cold, and either works well.

Some say you can’t preheat it empty, but Staub actually has a recipe on their site for this exact pot and they say to preheat it empty. Do what you feel safest about. ) Caveat: I did buy this for a spectacular price during Cyber Week almost 75% off, and that really “sweetened the pot”.

Not sure I would be quite as pleased if I’d paid full price, but for what I paid, it’s totally worth every penny. It’s heirloom quality. Excellent pot.

I own several ECI vessels from the competitor brand, all of which have a cast iron lid. This is my first Staub and I bought it based on size, glass lid, price (great holiday sale!), quality and color (SLT-exclusive French blue, which is a beautiful baby blue).

Primary uses for me are soups (to see simmering status through the lid) and baked bread (due to the lid being oven safe to 500F). I have read reviews that complained about the lid being glass and not functioning as efficiently as a CI lid.

Well, it is not CI. If someone buys with that expectation, it is on them quite honestly. I am very pleased with this DO and expect to enjoy it for years to come. Shipping from SLT was fast and it was packaged carefully.

I have had the 4 qt. cocotte a few weeks now. This is my first Staub product. I really like this item-the size, the color, the glass lid, it?s sturdiness. Some reviews mentioned that it was heavy, and that had me a little concerned.

However, after giving it a try, I have found the weight not to be an issue. It?s very versatile; I really enjoy cooking with it. I plan to get a larger size, for those large family gatherings.

A few years ago we bought a “Dutch oven”on sale that wasn’t cast iron, it was non stick and thin. Within a week it was all scratched up, the coating was peeling and the rim of the lid was bent. So this time we decided since we love our cast iron pans so much that we were going to get an enamel cast iron Dutch oven.

I’m SO glad we did. We use it for everything we possibly can. like soups, stews, chili, deep frying, boiling water, pasta sauces, Mac and cheese and even searing a roast on the stove then popping it in the oven.

I love products that have multiple functions. It’s become the most used pot in our house. TOTAL GAME CHANGER! I love cast iron because of how evenly it holds heat and the fact that our Dutch oven has enamel makes it so easy to clean.

It’s heavy for some family members to lift (because we did get a larger one) but not for all of us. I can lift it just fine. I love the beautiful red color it is. I recommend that everyone has at least one cast iron pan and one cast iron Dutch oven in their house because they are the best for cooking.

The obsession with cast iron continues, especially lodge cast iron! It’s always my go to brand for anything cast iron.

I bought it primarily to bake wet dough long rise sour dough types of breads and it has been doing a great job providing a nice rise and a beautiful crust. I like that you can remove the the lid and let the crust get as dark as you like.

The handles are easy to grab and feel secure in your hands when taking in and out of a very hot oven. It is easy to clean. Also, it is lighter in weight than the equivalent enameled cast iron pots which also makes it easier to handle.

The red color makes it appealing to the eye. When it gets hot the red color deepens to an almost burgundy red. It returns to it’s original color when cooled. Two issues are: 1. The lid does not sit perfectly flat onto the base.

It wobbles a bit. I find that a little disconcerting. I would have expected that flaw to have been noticed before leaving the production facility. I think it should have sold as a discounted second. I am planing to contact the company to see if they agree.

2. The instructions to fill the pot with milk and heat it up and so on. seems a bit much and not very well explained as to why this needed to be done. I (my fault) let the milk get too hot and scalded it and worse burned it leaving a black crust on the bottom of the pot that was very difficult to remove.

I thought I destroyed it but I did get it clean. However, I noticed very fine crackle lines in the glaze on the inside bottom. I don’t know if I did any harm or not. I hope to do some slow cooking in it like stews and soups which I think will really make it well used pot in our kitchen.

What I like most about this pot is that it doesn’t kill aroma of foods during cooking whole stainless steel pans do. When I saute onion in this pot, it lets off beautiful aroma that the onion may be supposed to let off during cooking.

The coating is smooth and beautiful in every detail. It’s not as heavy as cast iron one, so it’s easy to handle. No problem in oven or on stovetop. I recently scorched my pot pretty bad by simmering stew without water for about an hour.

But it got cleaned up perfectly after soaking in warm water for hours and gentle rubbing with a wooden stick. I got red. It’s a very pretty pot. It makes my kitchen and cooking enjoyable.

I have been wanting the EH bread cloche for quite a while. Then I decided to try this pot, which I already had, for my bread. Oh my gosh, it was some of the best bread I have ever tasted! For the dough I used my bread maker on dough setting using the basic white bread recipe on the side of my zojirushi bread maker.

Then baked the bread in this pot at about 450 degrees. I wanted to heat the empty pot in the oven before adding the dough. I was a bit worried about this because one place I read not to heat empty EH pots.

I took a chance and so far the pot is holding up well and the results were wonderful! I can’t really rate the durability yet because I have only used this pot a couple of times, but with the 10 year warranty I feel okay about spending the extra money on EH products.

My old dutch over was a 5 qt. –odd that this one is a little bit smaller and also 5qt. But it does do pasta and rice very well. The old was starting to stick and this one it just slides right out. It is light weight but does the job.

I also like the glass lid to see how things are doing in the pot.

This dutch oven is high-quality and expensive looking. I use it for baking, boiling water, making soups and stews. I even bake my cornbread in it!

It is a great pan for a quick cooking period. The pan itself is awesome, but after a while the handles become unsafely hot. Therefore, I will not prepare soup or some dish that requires more than 10 minutes on the burner.

A few weeks ago I purchased a major brand 4qt size at a major department store on sale. Then I saw this 6qt one on the BCP web site. It was advertised on a site with special discounts and I immediately ordered it for $21 less the smaller one I’d already purchased.

It arrived very quickly. Color is very pretty and was a better value for the larger size, which is really what I wanted to begin with. The price was great! I haven’t used it yet but I feel certain it will perform as expected.

I am pleased with purchase! I’m sure you know these can be very expensive. Won’t use it often, but there are certain recipes that require it and I feel I definitely got my money’s worth with this purchase.

Will be returning the smaller more expensive one I bought previously. This was my first purchase from BCP but I’m sure I’ll purchase from them again.

Our home was destroyed by a tornado in April of 2020, and we just got back home in February of 2022! We needed to start all over, and I fell in love with the cast-iron, 6-quart BCP Dutch oven. I didn’t want to pay for the VERY expensive name brands, so I ordered the “Deep Blue” BCP Dutch oven, and I could not be MORE PLEASED! I have had comments from visitors, and I leave it sitting out on my cook-top all the time because it’s so beautiful! It cooks a GREAT roast, chili, and other yummy dishes! I have sent the link to purchase to several friends! It’s such a great product, makes cooking easy, and it’s gorgeous!.

Used it twice and once making lasagna. It stuck pretty bad and I had to let it soak and scrub with a plastic scrapper and lots of elbow grease. It finally came clean this morning after letting it soak, a good scrub and repeating the process four times.

It appears to be good quality but aside from my buying experience, I would buy it again. I was charged for two, mailed two, had to find a FED EX location to return one all because they wouldn’t cancel the second order which clearly was sitting on the dock waiting to be shipped out.

I finally received my refund but it was a complete hassle. Will not be purchasing again from this company.

Is it me but has anyone ever seen the pink or lavender in stock (Fall/Winter 2021)? I’ve been checking for weeks. I’ve seen all the colors stocked online except for those two. If you are short on time, you can also buy these in store, although the site says they don’t sell them.

The colors available in club is very limited compared to online and have the traditional knobs (not gold). About 3-4 colors such as blue, red, etc. So far, I’ve purchase 3 online (1 Blue and 2 Linen/Gold).

No need to worry about gift spoilers or this being shipped in it’s original box arriving ugly, dirty, damaged with shipping labels stuck all over it. I hate when companies cut corners and expose the contents for the world see.

Especially if you were planning it as a gift. They arrived in PRISTINE condition and looked like they just came off the shelf. They sent each individually, inside another box with plenty of packaging material.

When I say I love this piece, I mean I freaking love it. It really is great, and I would give it 10⭐️ if it didn’t chip so dang easily. It’s so disappointing because it’s beautiful, looks way higher end than $40, but the coated enamel, no matter how careful I am with it, it keeps chipping off.

I bought this as a Christmas present to myself and I’ve used it probably 10 times since (6 months). Literally every time I do, it gets a new chip somewhere, some are barely noticeable, but some are much bigger.

I keep wanting to buy another, but then I remind myself how bad it chips and I just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Overall, I’d rather have it and have it chipping than not have it at all, but dangit, I wish it didn’t chip because it’s oh so beautiful.

This is the third Dutch oven I’ve purchased as an adult because I give them away to family members who didn’t have one. I am SO pleasantly surprised at how well this one performs! First I want to point out the handles, which are SO much easier to grip than the shorter, thicker handles of the other brands — no fears of slipping from my hot-mitted hands.

Second, I love that the handle on this top is oven-proof so I don’t need to remove it when I use it in the oven. Third, and most surprisingly, the interior of this pot DOES NOT STAIN and does not hang onto foods.

It’s not nonstick, of course, but I was dreading scrubbing it up after I made an awesome pot roast — donned the rubber gloves, got out the scrub, psyched myself up, planned a reward afterwards — and everything just came right off with the first swipe.

Not the second or third or fiftieth, but the first swipe. Also, the cream colored interior didn’t pick up the coloring from the tomato paste I used, which I can’t say about my other Dutch ovens. LOVE IT.

As long as you take care of it, it should last forever! It is a little heavier than the designer brand name one that costs $350, but the lid is oven-safe (the knob is made of glass), whereas the LC requires you to buy the oven-safe metal knob separately.

The one it comes with is typically plastic. But I have cooked with both and they perform similarly enough that it’s not worth spending the extra money, to me. Besides, if you read any articles that compare the major enamel Dutch ovens on the market, the Lodge comes in pretty highly rated in comparison to the expensive ones.

My sister has the blue and she keeps it on her stovetop because it’s so useful! I got the red (at half off, too, but I would’ve paid full price tbh!) because of how highly she speaks of hers. It arrived last Tuesday and I’ve already used it twice in a week.

The main drawback is the weight, especially when it’s full. It may be hard to carry to the table to serve from, but I typically serve from the stove, then once the pot cools a bit, I set it in the sink and fill it with hot soapy water.

It scrubs clean with a nylon brush, though I haven’t burned anything in it yet (lol) that would require heavier duty scrubbing. I’m pretty confident that a bit of a scrub powder would do just fine and the enamel will stay intact.

I bought this for my spouse, who loves to cook. For years I have wanted to buy Le Crueset, because enamel cast iron is so much easier to clean and cook with than plain cast iron. and we have a Lodge just cast iron that we use, but it’s a chore to keep it up to snuff (seasoning it, cleaning and drying are by hand).

I loved the color of this dutch oven, and I did read reviews elsewhere. This is an excellent piece of kitchen gear that can be used for decades if yaken care of, and it even comes with little “spacers” to put on the edge of the pot so the lid can be placed on it but it has airflow inside.

It weighs a ton ! But it’s also really attractive and we leave it on top of our gas stove along with a teapot. It also has a cookbook that comes with it that is really clever. If you love to cook, get one of these, for about $500 USD LESS than Le Crueset, but with the same quality.

Making soup or chili for several meals with this saves money in the long run.

Love this cast iron dutch oven and grill pan lid. I only got this last week but have used the dutch oven and grill pan lid several times. Only catch is after you use it, wash it and dry it right away so the rust does not form.

If the rust forms, just wipe it with oil and it’s good as new. When I first received it though, I lathered the inside with oil, put it in the oven for 25 minutes at 400 degrees to seal it. Might not be necessary, but I do this with all my cast iron pans and I’ve had my pans for over 20 years.

I use this for EVERYTHING! It is so durable and versatile I don’t even use my high end one because this is way more versatile (and you don’t have to worry about enamel chipping!)! I love using the grill pan lid for broiling in the oven when the weather isn’t good for grilling!.

I absolutely love cooking with cast iron, and cook at least once a day with them. Great addition to my collection.

It’s pretty. Looks good hanging on my pot rack. Truly IS non-stick. That is all I can say good about it. Does not heat evenly–centered on the burner one side always burns (NOT my stove!) I only use nylon, silicone or teak utensils which I use on all my other cookware.

After the first use I saw a couple of light scratches. After the second time there were bigger scratches. I washed it and put in dish rack to dry. Several hours later I came back in the kitchen to put the dishes away.

When I looked in the bottom of the Dutch Oven those scratches were no longer just scratches. they are now rust scratches. Needless to say I am NOT happy!!! I have tried calling and of course ya can’t TALK to anyone.

So I took the email route x2. Last time was over a week ago. No response. So much for their lifetime warranty. At this point I would only accept a refund. not a replacement. BTW the Dutch Oven that I replaced with this one was 9 years old and I was sick of the color.

P. S. This oven is NOT ovenproof.

The red color on this pot is simply beautiful! I like that it is a non-stick pot. Very easy to clean. I use it most times to cook rice. Great addition to my cookware.

My wife had one of these and it was one of her favorite pots! Was surprised to find it at this price. Great for her various soups and other larger quantity dishes.

I received the Tasty 5 quart stainless steel Dutch oven by mail. It unfortunately was dented near the handle despite the padded packaging, and as you can see by the photos, I received a coated stainless steel Dutch oven, not a true stainless steel Dutch oven.

I’ve used it to cook a roast, chili, and a stew so far, both on my glass top ovens cooking surface, and inside of the oven. It is oven safe up to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Though I did not have a good seal on the lid because of the dent in the Dutch oven, the food came out great.

The pot has held up wonderfully over the last few weeks and is even dishwasher safe. I do recommend this product and will be going to buy one that hasn’t been dented because of handling through shipping.

this pot does not come with the steamer basket as shown in the picture! very disappointed about that, but the product overall is a great addition to my kitchen! Ordered it on-line mid-morning, and was surprised it was at my door by 6:20 p.

m. that evening. free delivery from local store with Walmart !!! Love, love the perks with Walmart !!!!!!.

First let me say that I was in need of a new pot for cooking because mine was like 20 years old. I got this one and tried spaghetti out in it and let me say how wonderful this oven cooked up my pasta.

I was worried because it looked a bit small for my family but it works out well for cooking up a pound and a half of pasta. Mine is the silver color one and the handles have a grip that is silver in color.

The handles are awesome because they have a good grip to pour the pasta into a strainer and they aren’t hot. Has a lid that you can watch it boil if you want or simmer something and has small air hole for steam venting.

Also the cleaning was great, no sticking and simple clean up. Don’t use a scouring pad because you might scratch the inside.

I received a Yellow Duchess for Christmas after lusting after it for a year and I was so excited. At first when I opened it I was disappointed with the finish on the exterior because the matte didn’t seem like it would hold up to all of the versatile cooking styles that the website promised.

So here’s my review after using it regularly for 8 months. I used it on the stovetop and it was fine– the bottom got a little scorched each time and but it didn’t show so I was slightly sad but it’s meant to be used so I got over it.

Then I used it in the oven (always under 500 degrees) and it stained so badly on the outside that it took an hour to scrub it clean each time and even then it still didn’t look great. Then I deep fried in it (something that I did in my $50 lodge enameled dutch oven for 10 years with zero problems, ever) and it seems to be stained beyond repair and looks like I should just toss it in the garbage.

What makes matters worse is that I bought a Pink one in the Spring not knowing how hard it is to keep clean and I haven’t even used it yet because I don’t want it to get ruined too. I get that it’s meant to be used and not as a decorative element but when it’s so pricey and it’s marketed as being beautiful as well as functional, you’d think it would hold up to being used for a cooking task once a week.

If you’re buying for aesthetic and occasionally making soup or something then I’d say you’ll probably be fine but if you’re planning on actually using it, maybe invest elsewhere. 2 stars for cooking performance–it holds heat well but that’s not worth $150 IMO.

The Good: This things is sturdy and holds its heat really well. Great for searing and the grey interior goes a long way to hiding small discoloration on the enamel while still letting you monitor your fond.

The wide format is great for some dishes that might have been harder in a standard round (whole chicken, longer strips of meat, etc). Also, it’s eye-catching and nice to look at and display, and the yellow/mustard is a lovely shade The unfortunate: The colored coating on the outside is quite fragile.

Its matte, which is fine aesthetically, but has a slightly unpleasant texture compared to glassier alternatives by the competition. It is also much more prone to staining and you have to be much more mindful of any sauce on the exterior before you put it in a hot oven.

I don’t know if this is just my specific item or an issue with model at large, but the lid does not sit flush and I’m constantly unsure if it’s nested right. I was fiddling around trying t get it right and the lid slipped into the pot and some of the matte coating chipped off.

Also, the width of the dutch oven makes it very difficult to pour from. If trying to transfer a broth or sauce it really demands a ladle as pouring is inaccurate. Similarly, its a bit more awkward to clean, then round versions I have had in the past All in all, I like it and it looks good and cooks well, but these several small issues are annoying and cumbersome as a whole.

I followed Great Jones on Instagram forever before I bought the dutchess. I wanted the pink one SO bad and of course it was discontinued. I waited just under a year seeing if it would return and it didn’t.

So I bought the next best option, broccoli! I use it for everything. It’s so beautiful I leave it on my oven all the time just to look at it! About 9 months later the pink dutchess was brought back and…well…I had to have it! Opening it was like Christmas morning! My best friend talked for months about how much she wanted a Dutch oven but for some reason never bought one.

So I surprised her with blueberry and she’s just as obsessed with it as I am with mine. She also leaves it out all the time just to look at it. It looks amazing on her granite counter tops. They’re the perfect size, they heat so even, they’re beautiful.

I really couldn’t ask for more. Just ordered another and waiting for it to be delivered to my mom! She uses mine every time she comes to town and talks about how she just needs to buy her own. The hardest part is picking the right color.
